  note = {The Emerald Queen Casino, Resort, and Hotel is a multi-hundred-million-dollar destination owned and operated by the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. It employs thousands of WA-10 residents. It sends compact revenue to Washington state every quarter. It anchors a tribal economy that the federal government spent over a century trying to break. The southbound I-5 exit and underpass that brings workers, customers, and elders to the casino's front door is in a condition that does not match what the tribe built. Encampments, broken lighting, and pedestrian conditions that no other major Pierce County economic engine would accept. The federal Tribal Transportation Program exists. The federal-aid highway program exists. The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, where the WA-10 representative sits, decides how those dollars get directed. The tribe should not have to ask twice.}
